"Toph?" said Zuko. "Toph where are you?!"

As the comet soared over head, all eyes were on its brilliant light. Except for Zuko's. He was panicking and franticly searching for his best friend.

--

Toph had been leading an army of Earthbenders up a steep hill when she tripped and fell backwards. Trained not to get out of formation no matter what, the earthbending army trudged up the hill without realizing she was gone.

Zuko got out of his fighting stance and struggled down the hill. As he reached the bottom he found her tangled in a bush, groaning in pain.

"Toph! Toph, hold on I'll get you out of there!" Zuko shouted, over the roar of the currently raging battle.

"Zuko...hurry...I'm suffocating..." Toph choked out.

Zuko took a closer look. It wasn't just a bush that she was tangled in; there was also a huge boulder on top of her. Zuko had to think fast.

"C'mon, there's got to be something around here to lift this stupid rock!" He thought.

Suddenly, someone started running towards them with a wooden plank. It was Sokka. Zuko looked puzzled. Sokka noticed this.

"No time to explain! Just lift the rock up a little on that side and I'll slip the plank in and we'll hoist it off of her." He shouted.

They lifted the rock off and pulled her out of the bush. Toph was coughing violently, and Zuko held her close.
